A MOST ASTOUNDING THEORY!
Are radio broadcast stations responsible for late summers and early winters? A Pattersonville, N. Y. farmer believes so and promises frost in August because of the activity of radio stations. In a letter to WGY, the Schenectady, N. Y., station, he expounded his interesting and novel theory as follows:
"This broadcasting of music is good entertainment for the people in different parts of the country. But why is the weather so cold?
"I think that transmission of power through the air freezes all the heat out of it. Think, 20 broadcast stations in the New England States alone! Why, we have had cold summers for three years, ever since they started broadcasting music and entertainments. Four or five years ago when there wasn't any station transmitting power we had warm summers. You know yourself when it is hot in the summer there are thunder storms. Now there aren't any, and why?
"When it is a hot day and a thunder storm goes over, the lightning burns most of the heat and after the storm it is nice and cool. Now, when about 10 or 15 stations get a-going for about five hours each day, the electricity from these stations burns more heat than 50 storms. The weather is altogether different from what it was years ago. What are the farmers going to do?
"I may be wrong, but that is the cause of this cold weather, I think. Please try and get all the stations in the New England states and more besides to stop the broadcasting during the summer months and see if we dolt get the good old warm days back again."
